Klonoa 2-Dream Champ Tournament - Result Screen Skip
6Klonoa Speedrun Discord: https://discord.gg/0uDyG9ateL5LCb4u
It's possible to skip the result screen at the end of a level by pressing Start just before the level fades out, one frame timing. Then choose to go back to the map screen with "Select Vision". The game is considered beaten and the next level has been unlocked. This saves up to 364 frames.
You can use Klonoa's animation to see if you got the trick or not. Here's an example of when you have pressed too early: https://imgur.com/a/QRxPqKH

If you are too early, it's possible to unpause the game and quickly pause again and hopefully be able to catch the right frame.
When done in the water stages, you can use the background to know when you got the right frame, likely best to check the green in the lower corners.

It's also doable after a boss fight. You'll be taken to the map screen of what map you are in, so you'll have to press B to go back to the main hub and then go to the next world. It saved 162 frames when done for the first world boss.
